This all-veg street-food haven does a roaring trade in dosas (savoury wraps), stuffed parathas (pan-fried flatbread) and other southern Indian soul food, all prepared in a Bollywood-worthy spectacle. Try it with a cup of spiced masala chai (tea). Busiest at night. It hides out in a nondescript lane off Al Fahidi St opposite the Elegant Corner nuts shop.

It's behind the National Bank of Dubai.
